Press Release

It is with great pleasure to invite you to the exhibition of Hyewon Kwon’s Planet Theater from June 9th to July 29th. As the 2019 Grand Prize Winner of the 19th SongEun ArtAward, and as part of our prize benefits, Kwon has been invited for a solo exhibition that intends to shed light on the interplay between machines utilized for observing and measuring nature and their influence on our rapport with the environment. This exhibition will delve into the concept of “new nature” examining how it is redefined and defined by these technological advancements.

Planet Theater, a virtual research center dedicated to exploring speculative technology, delves into the realm of AI that draws insights from a diverse range of organisms, including humans, plants, and animals. We look forward to your participation in this exhibition as both a visitor to the research center and a test subject.
